Aspiring Matildas bolter nets Juventus move

Central Coast Mariners striker Annalise Rasmussen completed a transfer to Juventus and will head to Turin for a club-record transfer fee, the Mariners said.
After a breakout A-League Women season, Annalise Rasmussen scored 11 goals in 14 games for Central Coast Mariners, putting her in Golden Boot contention and on Joe Montemurro's radar.
Rasmussen said `They reached out last Wednesday and on Friday morning I'd signed my contract`, surprising her as she bagged a brace in Friday's 2-2 draw with Brisbane Roar, then paused studies and resigned her day job.
Rasmussen remains uncapped but her performances and move will have caught Matildas coach Joe Montemurro's attention ahead of the February 19 squad naming; Montemurro spent three seasons at Juventus.
Mariners sporting director Matt Simon said the club were sad to see her leave but praised the chance for an Academy graduate to progress in Europe, while Rasmussen described the move as an incredible opportunity to test herself against the world's best.
